Product Insights & Style Tips

The YAPA Siembra Short Cardigan channels Andes-inspired quiet luxury into a modern everyday layer. Handknit in Bolivia from 100% Baby Alpaca, the natural-toned base is sharpened by a graphic black-and-ivory intarsia motif across the sleeves. The fiber feels incredibly soft and warm yet surprisingly light, with a breathable, luxe hand. The short open-front silhouette reads contemporary and timeless at once.

Its relaxed fit and open front invite easy layering, whether over a tee or a breezy dress. Long sleeves with ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem hold the line, while the drape skims the body without bulk. This piece adds warmth without heaviness and transitions from casual day to evening with simple styling swaps.

Designed in New York and handmade by Bolivian artisans, Siembra celebrates YAPA's connection to Andean fibers and craft. Baby Alpaca is naturally warm, lightweight, and breathable, making this hip-length cardigan a lasting addition to seasonal wardrobes. Care is dry clean or hand wash cold.
